We are happy to announce our upcoming Webinar “Cancer as an Epigenetic Disease: The Role of Epigenetic Transformation and Regulatory Switches”, leading expert Prof. Dr. Alexander Meissner (Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics, Berlin) will share his insights into the role of epigenetic mechanisms in shaping cellular identity and their impact on oncogenesis. Complementing this, our Head of R&D Epigenetics, Xiaojing Yang, PhD will showcase how Zymo Research’s innovative solutions empower researchers to explore, decode, and translate epigenetic regulation into scientific and therapeutic advances.
You will Learn:
- Which epigenetic alterations – beyond genetic mutations – define tumor initiation and progression.
- How cancer shares conserved epigenomic features across patient tumors, xenografts, cell lines, and organoid models.
- Why cancer may represent an epigenetic state transition, challenging the classical somatic-to-cancer paradigm.
